...and it wasn't even in a Hall!  Friday morning I was wandering around the parking lot outside the Orange Hall on the side toward the exit  when I happened to see one of these at the end of one of the parking lot rows.

th

It was a Studebaker Commodore, I think the license plate indicated it was a 1950 model year.  The color was similar to the picture, but more of a maroon or burgundy.  It was in really beautiful shape, just a very sharp-looking blast from the past.  Did anyone else happen to catch this?  

Sometimes some of the most interesting things you see at York are in the lot.  I also saw a beautiful T-Bird, I'm guessing late 50s (where's he gonna put all the trains??!!)....also saw a car with Alaska license plates.  Imagine driving all THAT WAY and realizing, "Shoot, I forgot my badge!"

I followed the T-bird out of the fairgrounds Thursday evening. It was a nice car for sure, but he couldn't have fit much in it. I brought my convertible to York once, and had to send a bunch of stuff home with a friend... it was either the trains, or the top that were going to fit in the trunk and it was a real nice day . Now I just take the SUV so I can get all my stuff home.

Thanks

It took 2 years to finish, the colors are actually 1957 colors Sierra Gold and Snow Crest White. Does have the original 283 automatic but it's also updated. My hobbies are cars, trains, and a little art work on the side. I'll post some pics of my latest restore when I finish them. Repainted 2 Santa Fe MTH SD40's blue with yellow book ends. Also took 3 Rico stations and made 2 thanks again enjoy and God Bless

 

Getting parts for most else, even that '59 Chevy, is expensive, and very time consuming)

Like most hobbies this is very true. If you don't do most of the work yourself it's even more expensive. I actually did most of the body work and helped paint it. Lol I'll never do that again, blew paint out my nose for 2 days. Not like using an airbrush on some of my custom engines.
